Ghost

Ghost is a modern open-source publishing platform built for professional blogs, newsletters, and paid memberships, and a strong alternative to Substack. It pairs a clean editor with native email newsletters, member signups, and subscription billing, so a publication can grow an audience and earn revenue from one place. Content is delivered through fast themes or headlessly via its Content and Admin APIs, and built-in SEO, AMP, sitemaps, and structured data help posts rank and render well everywhere.

StoresWiki LLC runs Ghost as a managed, hosted service on a dedicated private instance. We take care of installation, version upgrades, security hardening, backups, and uptime monitoring, and we configure the mail pipeline so newsletters actually reach inboxes. You keep full ownership of your content, member list, and subscriber revenue, with no platform taking a cut of memberships and no per-seat SaaS fees.

The result is the polished publishing and membership experience of Ghost without server administration. We keep the stack patched and backed up while you focus on writing and growing your audience.
